8-12 vector diary days

  Project



 This tutorial took us through some other important tools in Illustrator. Most tools used included color in some way. The gradient circle shows may shades of brown leading to the black center. Another part of this tutorial taught  us about layers. I put the bubbles I made and the green star on a separate layer allowing me to add  a visual effect.

• patterns
• applying  patterns to other tools
• grid

Following the tutorial proved challenging. I had a hard time with a lot of things, one being time, another being a difficulty understanding the tutorial. Time really brought down my ability to fix some things on the ship itself. 

New skills and processes

• gradient tool
• subtract from shape process.
• curving the straight lines.

This project taught me the skills I listed above. I am starting to understand how to put different things together to make a larger picture or idea. I tried to make my spaceship a little unique by being creative, but still using the guidelines of the tutorial. I would grade myself a  8/8.

Self Reflection
From this project i learned a lot, but above all over the course of this project I gained a good idea of how to use the pen tool. i discovered tracing was a good way of getting a drawing of something onto the page. I also got a good grip on the pencil tool when I drew the hands. i would grade myself 9/9. On this project because there are still somethings I can improve.
